Paul O’Donohue and his SalesStar team are having to sit on their hands before they find out if they have won in the New Zealand International Business Awards.

Supposed to have been announced at a big black-tie event in October, COVID and its interminable lockdown/levels has seen the results pushed out until February 2022.

SalesStar is a finalist in two categories – Excellence in Digital Transformation and Australia-New Zealand business leader Kat Davey is a nominee in the Inspiring Women Leaders Award.

Paul says he and the team are proud, as these are the first awards SalesStar has entered:

“What is it they say about the painter’s house, or the mechanic’s car? As someone reminded us recently: ‘You’re a fantastic transformational sales company, but what are you doing about selling yourself?’.

“A good look in the mirror and we decided it’s time the world heard more about SalesStar and our determination to go global.”

SalesStar already has established practices in Australia, the United Kingdom, Sweden, the United States and now in Mexico.

And in a perfect case study for how the B:HIVE encourages collaboration, Simon Anderson (Level One) has just partnered in and set up SalesStar Digital with the global team. Just as SalesStar has taken itself global by digitalising its sales training, that has now been extended to lead generation for SalesStar and its clients.
